Sanitation practices refer to the methods and activities aimed at maintaining cleanliness and promoting health. These practices include proper waste disposal, regular cleaning of surfaces, and ensuring access to clean water. Effective sanitation helps prevent the spread of diseases and protects public health. Common sanitation practices involve handwashing with soap, using toilets instead of open defecation, and treating drinking water to eliminate contaminants. Communities often implement sanitation programs to educate people about hygiene and encourage behaviors that reduce health risks. Proper sanitation is essential for the well-being of individuals and the overall health of communities.
